Pro scouts are drooling over she finest crop of college players in over a dozen years and perhaps the best in history. Buffalo finished last in the American Football League's Eastern Division with the worst unanimously, record in pro football and thus But Simpson earned the right to the fabled Simpson, the Heisman Trophy winner and two-time All, America from Southern Califor- jnia whom many feel is the best running back ever to put on a uniform. The 26 pro teams will draft in order of their finish in I ihe final standings with ties settled by a coin flip.

Teams ending in ties alternate erery other round. Atlanta has tke second pick, winning a flip from Philadelphia, and the Falcons are hesitant to commit themselves. While their great need is for offensive linemen, the Falcons are hesitant to pass up Purdue's versatile Leroy Keyes, twice Simpson's All-America running mate. who has been a defensive back, running back and flanker, could solve a number of problems for Atlanta, but the Falcons may yet lean toward another All-America, offensive tackle George Kunz of Notre Dame. Kunz, a 6-foot-5, 240-poundcr, is generally considered the finest offensive lineman in the country.

Philadelphia has third choice, followed by Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. Boston will choose sixth with San Francisco, awarded rights to New Orleans' first choice, picking seventh. Los Angeles, with three lirsl round picks, selects eighth and 10th. with San Diego, using a choice obtained from Denver, drafting ninth. Miami picks llth, followed by Green Bay, Chicago, the New York Giants, Houston and San Francisco.

New Orleans, using Minnesota's first pick, is 17Ui in order, followed by San Diego, St. Louis, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Oakland.
